Wars Of Watergate, The: The Last Crisis of Richard Nixon 11 reviews
Stanley I. Kutler
Knopf, 1990
One spring, one well
If your goal is to understand the depth of Richard Nixon's involvement in the Watergate scandal, Stanley Kutler's `The Wars of Watergate' is the book for it. It's a great introduction to Watergate without that qualifying caveat, of course, but Kutler perches his narrative squarely on Nixon's shoulder. This book doesn't take extended side trips to the creation of the Plumbers, to that dirty ...

Michael Cahill
St. Martin's Griffin, 1998
Truly Great Novel
Found this book in a used book store. What a wonder. I loved it. The recollection of life in San Francisco in the early '70s reminded me of my own crazy youth and moved me immeasureably. The sensiblity is poignant and hilarious and profound. The wild masturbatory scene in the sand is virtuouso. The exploits of the main character, Jack, have stayed with me for days. This writer has a lot to ...

William Shawcross
Touchstone, 1987
History to be reviewed over and over again
Shawcross gets into the minds of Kissinger and Nixon so well. His is a book to be read over and over again to see the working of the U.S. Government and how it can destroy a country. He talks about the 25 pound shark at the bottom of a swimming pool full of children -- and we understand how the USA's leaders destroyed a country. It is a lesson to be learned over and over again as we go about ...

Joe McGinniss
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1988
The true story of the 1968 presidential campaign
Somewhere in the second chapter of this splendid book, Leonard Hall, national Republican chairman said; "You sell your candidates and your programs the way a business sells its products." This succinct message captures the essence of Joe McGinniss and his book, "The Selling of the President." The author explains how Richard Nixon is packaged and distributed to the American people by clever ...

Nixon at the Movies: A Book about Belief7 reviews
Mark Feeney
University Of Chicago Press, 2004
Siskel, Ebert, and Nixon?
Did Nixon miss his calling? Should he have been a Hollywood film reviewer? Nixon was born near Hollywood, where characters were reshaped and manufactured, in 1913, the same year that Hollywood produced its first film, Cecil B. DeMille's "The Squaw Man." In a time before DVD's and VHS/Betamax (when "R" rating meant Regular, not Restricted (hehe)), he watched 538 films during his 67 months in ...

Mark Maxwell
St. Martin's Press, 1998
NixonCarver
This is a beautiful book. Richard Nixon is an unlikely vehicle for beauty, but Maxwell does it somehow-- his gentle portrait of Raymond Carver no doubt has a lot to do with it. He has created a tragedy that does what tragedies should do-- simply, it makes you feel for another human being. Also interesting in the same vein is Russell Lees' play "Nixon's Nixon"-- between the two of them these ...

After Watergate4 reviews
Russ Witcher
University Press of America, 2000
Excellent Book! Masterfully written.
Russ Witcher's book, that Watergate thing, is one of the best books that I have ever read. The tension kept me on the edge of my seat! The climatic conclusion is unparalled by anything except for certain Betty Davis movies. Keep up the good work, Russ. I hope to see more work from you in the near future.
